I should clarify - it's been mandated that I put a server in the remote location... or else we move to Exchange.

Folks in the remote office, about 25 users all using IMAP via Outlook 2000, were seeing intermitent response degradation, the cause of which I have been unable to pinpoint. The frustration level has gotten pretty high there, so it has been decided they get their own server.

Oh, a fractional T1 between the two offices will be immune to the general hiccups on the Internet. You'll have to get the tricky routing working, but that's going to be the worst of it.

You can still put a server there, and have both servers cross-mount each other over NFS.
